A DORM ROOM STORY

 I don’t know know how I got here…

some things were up with me in my past life…

I still have nightmares from my previous life…

I don’t know why…

but its okay…

its okay to stand out of the crowd…

I’m okay…

that’s what I tell myself…

since the past 3 years…

maybe they are nightmares…

or maybe visions I certainly don’t know…

 

So after all the mental conditions and horrible experiences with previous schools, my parents decided to get me into a boarding school, a special one that takes personal care of the child by a personal doctor/coach who guides the child. And it was my final year of high school so I went with my parents decision and gave it a go for just a year I thought!

 

The school was fine, the teachers were more polite than the city schools, the dorms were pleasant, the kids were cool and mixed up easily with newbies, and there were these pleasant gardens after every block of the campus. It was a quiet and calm place.

 

I introduced myself to my dorm mates, and after having a delicious supper with all of them at the mess, we returned back to our beds to sleep. My mother just gifted me an expensive phone and I was too afraid to lose it, not that my dorm mates are evil, but that in a huge campus like this you cant trust everyone. My dorm mates were good, but all aren’t.

 

I switched off my phone and went to bed. After a few minutes, I heard something dropping, I wake up open my eyes and see my phone on the floor with its screen cracked! I was so so panicked that my dorm mates woke up and had to calm me down. The phone was all right but the screen was gone, my dorm mate, the coolest one told me that there is a secret place in the city, where screen replacements are done as good as new, but it is outside the campus and probably hidden in the darkness at the end of that street.

 

I was willing to take that risk, but the hidden darkness is one thing that all others are frightened of, no one was willing to come with me so I went off alone escaping the campus in dark!

 

The journey through the darkness was terrifying … I was walking and walking into nowhere…

 

I was about to reach the end of the street, and nothing had come across my way except for the fear I was holding inside…

 

Towards the end of that path, I saw giant naked men walking like walking in a parade, soon the darkness and the mist faded away and I saw that the giant naked men were handsome, but what are they doing here and where are they coming from? Soon the parade was followed by normal size naked women… and someone whispered me in the ear from my back “This is the Naked March of the Dark Women and Giant Male Prostitutes” and when I turned back, there was nobody behind me!

 

The giants were proceeding towards me and the dark women behind them praising the giants and following the dark path. The march was causing a stampede and the surface was trembling. I quickly take a short cut and ran away from that mayhem!

 

I ran and ran and found a barren building on a barren and empty unpopulated land!

 

There was a sign in front of the building saying that it used to be a brothel. I can now imagine that somehow due to some reason the women and giants abandoned that brothel, moved to another one and are now probably marching on the dark path. But wait! That path leads to my campus! Are they planning to destroy it over a stampede? God save us!

 

I crossed the barren brothel to find that shortcut I came from, so I could return back to the campus and warn the authorities! But… the shortcut somehow vanished…!

 

I ran being afraid and terrified and found a petrol pump. The petrol pump had 2 streets leading to opposite directions ahead. And I was puzzled that which street would lead to the campus and which will lead to the giants back again! Wait! Where is the actual street that would lead to the screen replacement shop area? Is there any such place?

 

I think not! For now all I know is that there is either a left or a right- one to campus one to death! I was confused which one to take, suddenly I saw a taxi approaching towards me, it comes near me and honks its horn! The guy, the coolest guy from my dorm room who told me about this path to the screen replacement shops, is now driving this taxi and calling me in!

 

I sense a feeling of safety with him so I went aboard, upon asking that what was all this? What is going on here? He was about to answer, just about to open his mouth and turning his eyes on me, but suddenly everything fades away and inti darkness! 

 

I hear a buzz- the morning alarm set on my phone on the side table next to my dorm bed, it was morning already, and I was probably dreaming! The phones screen was absolutely fine, no scratch on that phone!

 

That coolest guy wakes up, his bed is next to mine, he turns his eyes on me and was about to open his mouth- just the way the eyes he was turning towards me and his mouth about to be opening from that dream, that wasn’t complete!

 

Before he could say something, the warden knocks on our dorm door and nothing was said between me and that coolest guy- just like the way we couldn’t have a word in that taxi from the dream!

 

Maybe it wasn’t a dream or maybe its just a déjà vu ….
